How to pick an artist you won't regret
Look at healed work, not fresh work
Anything looks crisp on day one. Ask the artist to send healed photos at 3–6 months. That's what your tattoo will actually look like.
The shop should be spotless and licensed
In TX, tattoo studios must be inspected and every artist licensed. Ask to see the license — a serious shop keeps it framed on the wall.
A real studio takes a deposit
Deposits (usually $50–$200) are standard — they lock the slot and cover design time. No deposit = a red flag or a very slow week.
What to ask on the consult call
- What's your hourly rate and shop minimum?
- Do you specialize in the style I want?
- How long is your waitlist?
- Do you take a deposit? Is it refundable?
- Can I see healed photos of similar work?
- Do you use single-use needles and sterilised equipment?
- What's your aftercare protocol? (See our free aftercare timeline.)
